Is Ward still the same guy that beat everyone in the Super 6?

    I'm not sure that he is.

    First of all, he had major shoulder surgery.

    Secondly, he really hasn't fought anyone in years. He looked alright against Paul Smith, but I kept seeing so many openings for Smith to land that right hand.

    Third, Ward has looked mechanical in his last few fights. I think he can be beat on the outside. I can see him getting knocked down by a straight right, but it has to be against decent opposition.

    That doesn't mean he can't return to the level that he was at, but I would like to see him fight someone with a pulse soon, so we can see if he is as good as he used to be.

    He is a gym rat like Floyd Mayweather. Rust is not really an issue.

    Floyd also uses drugs. Let's be realistic here. Do you think Ward also uses drugs?

    Undoubtedly.

    Nothing in Princes counter offer contained or mentioned VADA testing which K2 was insistent upon IF there was gonna be any fight with Ward at ANY wieght.

    Yes, Ward is geared to the gills. :good

    If he wasn't then why would he reject the test v Rodriguez. And why will he never fight outside the shady borders of the CSAC?

    Beat everybody?
    He didnt face all of the original S6 opponents. Froch did face all of the original S6 opponents and Johnson.

    I always thought the S6 run of 5 fights Ward had was good but also a bit overated in my opinion

    If Ward was British you'd be claiming that he's the best boxer of the last decade. Now pipe down.

    Why would I?
    I dont think hes (Ward) the best boxer of the last decade, just look at how good Mayweather has been and try and make that arguement to me

    We cannot really judge that. Super Six is already years ago and his best win since then is a very drained, very past it Dawson. Also his last fight at SMW is already years ago, at LHW the strength advantage might very well change from his side to his opponent's.There are just too many variables involved which are now unknown, we have to wait for his next fight against a good opponent with no bull**** clauses to reevaluate his level.

    If Calzaghe was a black American who took PEDs you claim him as the GOAT

    He fought Hopkins and Jones when he was shot at the end of his career and took them to cleaners.

    If he was American he would've likely been brought up round a culture of cheating like Foney, Borenard and Roid and been juiced up himself and been even more unstoppable :hi:.
